"Mishap." "Sloppy." "Blunders." "A Pizza Hut in Beirut." Not necessarily words one expects to see all together in an international affairs news story about American spies. But this is the CIA we're talking about. Literally anything is possible, including a humiliating outing of foreign agents employed by the CIA to spy on Hezbollah and Iranian assets. Anonymous sources told the LA Times that the CIA station in Beirut is basically "out of business" as a result of this affair.
At least a dozen sources — who may now be "facing execution" — were reportedly compromised through shocking operational deficiencies that made the spies easy pickings for Hezbollah's counterespionage agents.
Hezbollah reportedly scored this coup by sending double agents to the aforementioned Pizza Hut used by the CIA handlers and agents, and by using phone tracking software that the U.S. knew back in 2009 was capable of compromising CIA agents' identities. That's the bigger issue: while Hezbollah, which is extremely vulnerable to electronic espionage, has upped its signals interception game, the U.S. knew about this risk but didn't change its operating procedures. As Forbes simply put it, "The lessons the CIA learned [from Israel] did not prevent their own spies from getting caught."
Iran allegedly managed to discover what websites CIA informants were using to relay intelligence to their handlers and tracked people down through the internet. This par for the course: for every Stuxnet "success" U.S. cyber spooks score, there is a failure called Haystack to match it.
"Good luck finding that needle," read the tag line for Haystack program, trumpeted by the State Department as a tool for Iranian dissidents to use as a mask for their activities online. Well, Tehran found "that needle" several times over: Haystack failed to protect Iranian dissidents' identities and has been quietly, embarrassingly shelved. The Iranian regime found even more valuable needles this time: people willing to risk their lives to spy for the CIA. That is a much rarer commodity, and, one imagines, one likely to be a scarcer one from here on out at a time when good intelligence is needed most (the perfect storm of an election year and IAEA report).
How could an intelligence agency once capable of pulling off Cold War coups reach this point? In the 1980s, Langley reportedly ran rings around the USSR's industrial espionage program thanks to clever use of a well-connected KGB agent. In 1991 it secretly shipped captured Iraqi tanks to Afghan fighters via Pakistan. And now, CIA agents are getting their covers blown over pan pizzas?
The Atlantic's Max Fisher asks an important question here: "is this the cost of counterterrorism?"
Apparently so. The CIA has indeed become targeted towards counterterrorism. "Kill, capture or detain" have become the orders of the day, rather than "photograph, intercept and analyze." An intelligence agency with bloody hands — all intelligence agencies have bloody hands, of course — has become even more bloodied through blunders and a diversion of resources to increasingly eliminate, rather than assess, threats. We used to ship missiles to insurgents during the Cold War: now the CIA delivers them via drone. In both cases, we didn't really keep good track of them (in the fog of two wars, some may have ended up in places like Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan, while today they are mistakenly killing the wrong targets).
This fire and forget mentality stems in part from what happened to our intelligence services over Iran (and to a lesser extent, Lebanon) in the 1980s. This is very much the result of 9/11: the PATRIOT era begun by Bush (and expanded under Obama) hit Langley hard as the agency became increasingly politicized and scrutinized by the White House over al Qaeda activities and "Muslim" WMDs. So too did the FBI, NSA and National Security Council (NSC). But the basis for this approach to intelligence lies partly in Cold War Iran and Lebanon.
To say that U.S. covert operations in Iran and Lebanon have been marked by bad luck would be an understatement. Despite the importance of these two nations to U.S. grand strategy, the U.S.'s presence and influence in both countries has declined since the 1980s — or, to put it another way, these two countries wriggled out of the Eisenhower Doctrine bug jar since the 1980s.
From a "successful" little operation alongside the British known as "Operation Ajax" (aka, the 1953 coup that reinstalled the Shah), CIA successes in Iran have become few and far between. The botched rescue of the U.S. embassy hostages that resulting in the deaths of some of the would-be rescuers remains one of the defining image of the U.S.'s failure to effectively respond to the collapse of the Shah's regime. Kept at arm's length by SAVAK agents and Washington's bureaucratic inertia, events outpaced the CIA there and we "lost" Iran, a perception that neither malwares, MEK nor mysterious murders have yet erased. But our successes there have accomplished little, save embolden the regime and rally the Iranian public around an establishment that many actually hate far more than they fear and loathe the U.S. and Israel. We might keep setting aside money and meetings in the name of "Iranian democracy," but we can't even protect the Green Movement from their own government's webmasters.
Our historical failure in Iran contributed to the gung ho attitude that the CIA went into Afghanistan with in the 1980s. We might have lost one side of the Strait of Hormuz to the Islamists, but by Saud, Carter and Reagan we weren't going to lose the other one to the Communists. What happened in Tehran colored our dealings with Islamabad, Quetta, Riyadh and Cairo during the Soviet-Afghan War, and many nations are still paying for our shortsighted approach towards those Islamists (it certainly didn't help that some of those most heavily involved in these dealings all perished together in a mysterious plane crash alongside the Taliban's godfather, Zia ul Haq).
Lebanon has also been a bit of a sore spot since the 1980s, partly because of high-profile kidnappings of Americans in Beirut, including that of a CIA station chief, and the fact that neither sanctions nor Israeli intervention has managed to topple Hezbollah, or at least isolate it from Iran. The global Islamist renaissance that began in the 1970s found fertile soil in war-torn Lebanon.
With this success against the CIA, Hezbollah has scored yet another victory against the U.S.-Israeli alliance, though not nearly as signal a success as the "Party of God's" weathering of the 2006 Israeli offensive into southern Lebanon. Hezbollah's survival frustrates both Washington and Tel Aviv — and the latter is increasingly looking back at the glory days of Operation Focus (1967) and Operation Opera (1981) as a means of dealing with its growing international isolation and regional upheavals. All the accompanying Churchillian references are not helping the matter.
The CIA does not have to worry too much that what happened in Lebanon and Iran this month will compromise its funding. It will, however, compromise its ability to deliver the White House objective intelligence and analysis from these countries at a bad time in Israeli and U.S. politics (i.e., the 2012 elections).
Take note, though, of who you start reading about in the papers as "sources" for U.S. intelligence. The news provided by the Ahmed Chalabis of the world is worse than no news at all. And with the operations inside these countries in bad shape — and chickenhawks being chickenhawks — we will be hearing from the new Ahmed Chalabis very soon on how to proceed in Iran.
If we aren't already.

Body destroyed before being identified; police try to link him with poachers.
NEW DELHI, June 14 (CDN) — A pastor in Assam state was murdered and cremated without being identified last month before family members learned of his death when they saw a photo of his body in a newspaper.
The body of Son Englang, 35, was recovered alongside National Highway 37 on May 20, with marks indicating his hands had been tightly bound before he was shot. The pastor from Mallasi village, Karbi Anglong, supported by Gospel for Asia (GFA), had reportedly been kidnapped early in the morning of the previous day as he rode his bicycle to the Bokakhat marketplace to buy paint materials for his nearly completed church building.
The unknown kidnappers, suspected Hindu extremists, reportedly took him to the jungle to kill him.
Local police took his body to a hospital in Golaghat, where he was cremated without being identified after three days.
"The hospital along with the local police cremated Pastor Englang's 'unclaimed body,' as there is a provision in the hospital of holding a body for a maximum of three days," said the Rev. Juby John, Karbi Anglong diocesan secretary of GFA.
News of his death reached his family four days after he was killed when they saw a photo of his body published on May 22 in local newspapers reporting him as unidentified.
"With great difficulty, his photo could be recognized," said John. "It was a semi-decomposed body. Pastor Englang's brother with a few villagers identified him and then informed the pastor's wife."
John told Compass that Pastor Englang had evangelized in the Daithor area for 14 years, and "many, many people came to the Lord because of his extensive evangelism."
Anti-Christian elements in the area likely had taken note of Pastor Englang's fearless evangelism and the church building on the verge of completion, John said.
"Pastor Englang gave me a phone call just three days before he went missing," John said. "He was very happy and excited about the completion of the church building and said it was his dream come true."
Along with his wife, Pastor Englang is survived by a 6-month-old son and a 3-year-old daughter.
He had served with GFA since 1996, ministering in Karbi Anglong, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the site where his body was recovered.
Local media reported his death along with those of three poachers who had illegally entered Kaziranga National Park to hunt rhinoceros and were shot by park guards. The bodies of the three poachers were recovered from the park the same day that police found Pastor Englang dead on the highway.
Strangely, police reported Pastor Englang as a poacher accompanying the three who were killed inside the wildlife park. Investigations are underway regarding the suspicious claim, resulting in the arrest of a park guard and a local policeman.
False Report
Questioned by media, police were unable to explain why Pastor Englang was included with the poachers given the large distance between his body and the three recovered inside the park. They were also unable to explain the marks of binding on Pastor Englang's hands.
"There was no weapon discovered on the pastor, whereas there were ammunitions recovered from the trespassers," John told local newspapers.
John emphasized that Pastor Englang worked day and night on the construction of his church building for the past five months.
"He had nothing to do with the poacher case," he said. "I spoke to the villagers and his close associates, who absolutely denied any kind of involvement of the pastor even in the past. The villagers emphasized the good character and blameless record of the pastor."
John said he went to visit Pastor Englang's family and the church building under construction on May 24.
"The laborers working on the church construction, who personally had nothing to do with Son Englang, wept as I spoke to them about the pastor," he said. "His death was sudden and untimely."
Hindu extremists have a presence in the state. Hemanta Das, a 29-year-old Christian worker whom Hindu extremists had warned to stop his ministry, succumbed to injuries in a hospital on July 1, 2007, two days after extremists beat him in the Chand Mari area of Guwahati. A convert to Christianity from Hinduism, Das previously had been a supporter of the Hindu extremist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
The All India Christian Council (AICC) later wrote to state officials requesting that those who killed Das be arrested and the Christian minority community protected from such attacks. AICC noted that Hindu extremist groups had warned Das of "dire consequences" if he continued preaching Christ.
At that time the Rev. Madhu Chandra, an AICC leader from northeast India, told Compass the presence of Hindu extremist groups in the state was very high.
"When I was working with a Christian organization in the state till a few years ago, many of our workers would be attacked by extremists," Rev. Chandra said.

1999 Volvo S80 Windshield Wipers Blade at Tuners Depot
PIAA® Si-Tech Silicone Blade Windshield Wipers (Pair) - 99-03 Volvo S80 (Driver & Pasenger Side)
Your Volvo S80 windshield will thank you once you install these PIAA Silicone Windshield Wiper Blades. Unlike your factory Volvo windshield wipers, PIAA Replacement Wiper Blades are made from windshield saving silicone. These PIAA silicone blades do the incredible job of coating your windshield with silicone each time they swipe it. That means your S80 ends up with a light silicone shield, which helps repel water, and bead up any water that does manage to get on it. The result is a much cleaner sweep, and loads of added safety for your drive in inclement weather. Also, PIAA Volvo S80 Si-Tech replacement windshield wipers are PIAA's best wiper to combat snow and ice. Their modern looking frameless design makes them perfect for frosty climates; their lack of nice but bulky aerodynamic features make them the best for preventing snow and ice from getting trapped on your wipers, which would eventually lead to even more snow and ice accumulating. Their flat design also gives PIAA S80 windshield wiper blades slightly better contact with your windshield resulting in a clearer view in even the rainiest weather.

In 1976, two shaggy-haired college dropouts founded a company called Apple to manufacture personal computers. The company's prospects looked so poor that the third co-founder relinquished his 10 percent stake in the company for $800 that same year. It simply wasn't clear why anyone would want the firm's Apple I computer. It was so under-powered that it couldn't perform many of the functions of mainframes and minicomputers that were already on the market. And most consumers had no interest in having a computer in their homes.
Today, of course, Apple is the world's largest company by market capitalization. What was important about the Apple I wasn't the meager capabilities of the original version, but the promise it held for rapid innovation in the coming decades.
Now, a company called Per Vices hopes to do for wireless communication what Apple did for computing. It is selling software-defined radio gear called the Phi that, like the Apple I, is likely to be of little interest to the average consumer (it was even briefly priced at the same point as the Apple I, $666.66, but has since been placed at $750). But the device, and others like it, has the potential to transform the wireless industry. This time, the revolution will depend on hackers enabled to manipulate radio signals in software.
The versatility of software-defined radio
Traditional radio chips are hard-wired to communicate using one specific protocol. For example, a typical cell phone has several different chips to handle a variety of radio communications: one to talk to cell phone towers, another to contact WiFi base stations, a third to receive GPS signals, and a fourth to communicate with Bluetooth devices. In contrast, software-defined radio hardware works with raw electromagnetic signals, relying on software to implement specific applications.
This makes software-defined radio devices tremendously versatile. With the right software, a single software-defined radio chip could perform the functions of all of those special-purpose radio chips in your cell phone and many others besides. It could record FM radio and digital television signals, read RFID chips, track ship locations, or do radio astronomy. In principle it could perform all of these functions simultaneously. Software-defined radio hardware also enables rapid prototyping of new communications protocols.
Software-defined radio will make it possible to use the electromagnetic spectrum in fundamentally new ways. Most radio standards today are designed to use a fixed, narrow frequency band. In contrast, software-defined radio devices can tune into many different frequencies simultaneously, making possible communications schemes that wouldn't be feasible with conventional radio gear.
Most significantly, the widespread adoption of software-defined radio hardware could undermine the FCC's control over the electromagnetic spectrum itself. Right now, the FCC largely focuses on limiting the transmission frequencies of radio hardware. But this regulatory approach is likely to work poorly for software-defined radio devices that aren't confined to any specific frequency.
The effective deregulation of the airwaves could create headaches as careless hobbyists pollute frequency bands that have been reserved for other applications. But it's also likely to usher in an era of unprecedented radio innovation as millions of people have the opportunity to experiment with technologies that, until recently, were the exclusive domain of well-funded industrial labs.
The pioneers
Software-defined radio has had political undertones since its inception. A decade ago, some early software radio enthusiasts became interested in the "broadcast flag" debate then raging in Washington. Hollywood wanted to force consumer electronics companies to detect and comply with metadata in HDTV broadcasts that would signal what consumers were allowed to do with television content.
Eric Blossom, founder of a software project called GNU Radio, hoped that implementing an HDTV receiver in software and releasing it as open source would demonstrate the futility of this approach. Even if the government forced his project to implement the broadcast flag, he argued, anyone could tweak the source to disable the broadcast flag code and then re-compile it.
The effort to build a software receiver for the ATSC television format was ultimately successful. "We would record samples off the air, then process them in our app in GNU radio, and you could watch the MPEG of Law and Order," Matt Ettus, a contributor to the effort, told us.
Ettus said the hardware used to build the ATSC receiver "wasn't something that someone else could go out and buy." Also, it "wasn't well set up for what we were doing." It could only capture a narrow slice of spectrum: 100 kHz at most. That was enough for Law and Order reruns, but Ettus believed better hardware would be needed to unleash the full potential of software-defined radio technology.
"To do more interesting things you need more hardware," Ettus said. He wanted to capture a much wider range of frequencies. And he wanted other advanced features like the ability to handle multiple antennas simultaneously.
The USRP
"I went a long time trying to convince somebody else to build this thing and nobody would," Ettus told us. So in 2003, he began work on what became the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). In 2004, he quit his job as an engineer working on conventional radio products to focus on the USRP full-time, shipping his first unit on January 1, 2005.
Today, Ettus Research builds a range of devices specifically designed for software-defined radio. A working USRP system comes in three parts: the main USRP box, an RF daughterboard, and a computer. The daughterboard handles the actual reception of radio signals, and passes the analog signal to the main USRP unit. Ettus explained to us what happens from there.
"First it converts the analog signal to digital. Then the digital signal is sent to a field-programmable gate array. The FPGA does the high-speed processing and the user can modify it and put all sorts of interesting things in there. In the most basic configuration, the FPGA reduces the sample rate, does some frequency translation, and then sends that out over the interface" to the CPU.
The interface that connects the USRP to the computer is the main thing that distinguishes the various USRP models from each other. The cheapest model (costing $650) delivers the data to the user's computer over a relatively slow USB link. The priciest model (costing $1700) has a gigabit Ethernet interface. In between, the company offers an "embedded" model that includes a built-in CPU capable of running a full Linux distribution, which allows it to function as a stand-alone device.
Each RF daughterboard is designed to receive a different range of frequencies. "We used to need a lot of different daughterboards to cover an interesting frequency range," he told us. "When we first started, you could only get a couple hundred MHz with decent performance. But as technology advanced, we've gotten newer and newer daughterboards with wider range."
Ettus said one of the most interesting applications for the USRP has been for open source cell phone telephony. Users have configured USRPs to provide GSM cellular service, deploying them "in a number of places, from Burning Man to small islands in the Pacific." The hackability of the USRP makes it more versatile than traditional cellular gear, making it ideal for unusual environments.
Wireless security research is another key application for the USRP. For example, one research group used a USRP to discover security vulnerabilities in the wireless communications protocol of a commercially available pacemaker. "If you want to determine wireless security, you need to be able to send those devices interesting packets," he said. "You need complete control of the packets you send, and you need to examine the received packets at a fundamental level." Conventional wireless hardware can't match the flexibility of software-defined radio hardware for this kind of application.

Lindsay Lohan gave US Weekly an exclusive interview leading up to the release of Liz & Dick...on Lifetime. Can we please remember that this is a TV movie of the week???
Anyway, some sh-t about how she's definitely changed and learned and has no regrets and feels bullied and it's the media's fault and then...she compares herself FAVOURABLY to Elizabeth Taylor:
"I'm great. Elizabeth was drunk on sets. I've never been drunk on set ever. I did my time and I respect the law."
Oh yeah. She did. She just said that Ms Taylor was worse than she ever was.
Then she draws a parallel between herself and Marilyn Monroe. Apparently they are the same:
"I think (getting back on track) happened when I was at Betty Ford. That's how I changed. Marilyn Monroe went to an institution and said, 'I may not belong here like the world thinks I do, but I might as well take what I can get here and use it and help other people.' I think that's what everyone should take from those experiences."
She didn't need help. But she's such an inspiration because she made the most of her situation and turned it into a positive and is now some kind of role model...? Who will be a mother?
"Yes. I want to adopt a son."
And I believe her. I believe that if she could she'd try to make that happen tomorrow, seeing as motherhood is the great whitewash; she'd be doing it for her career, to have something to sell, to have a baby to sell, in the hopes that somehow that might buy her... an Oscar.
Lindsay Lohan is STILL talking about Oscar. She manages to talk about Oscar even when she's asked about falling in love:
"I'm not focused on that yet. I want to do a ton of movies first. After I win an Oscar, I can start thinking about love."
Before it was "I want to win an Oscar". Now it's "I WILL win an Oscar". Lindsay Lohan can't get a job, but still she knows that somehow she'll win an Oscar. All she wants is that Oscar. The glory of the Oscar. The ATTENTION that comes from the Oscar. As I've said so many times before, you never need to worry about Lindsay Lohan's self esteem. Lindsay Lohan has never had a problem loving herself.
Here she is arriving back in LA in advance of tonight's Liz & Dick premiere.
More from the Lindsay Lohan interview in US Weekly on newsstands tomorrow.

Bob Bates, 96, Takes His Final Journey

Bob Bates, expeditionary mountaineer and honorary president of the American Alpine Club, died on September 13 at the age of 96 in Exeter, New Hampshire, in a most unlikely place, his bed. He was one of the most beloved mountaineers in America.
Bob climbed in Alaska, the Yukon and the Karakoram at a time when a cell phone and a helicopter could not bail you out. In 1937 Bob and Brad Washburn, a fellow Harvard mountaineer, flew into Mount Lucania (17,150 feet) in the Yukon, then the highest unclimbed peak in North America. They landed on a glacier at the base of the mountain and became stranded when the plane, bogged down in wet snow, was barely able to take off. The plane could not return due to the adverse conditions, so the only feasible way out was to hike over the top of 16,650-foot Mount Steele, down its 9,000-foot east ridge and then to Kluane Lake, 100 miles away. The two barely made it, and learned that rabbit tastes better than squirrel. Despite their impending long escape journey, they spent a few extra days to make the first ascent of Mount Lucania.
Bob joined two expeditions to K2 (28,251 feet), in 1938 and 1953, both times with Charlie Houston, another Harvard mountaineer. It took a tremendous effort in 1938, 15 years before the mountain's first ascent, even to reach the mountain. The team ascended to 26,000 feet on what would later become the Abruzzi Ridge before weather and a lack of supplies persuaded them to turn around.
The 1953 expedition resulted in one of the most storied episodes in mountaineering history. The entire party was trapped in a storm at over 25,000 feet when Art Gilkey became critically ill. Despite the extreme risk of getting anyone off the mountain in a storm, Bob and the other climbers never questioned trying. When one man slipped, Pete Schoening's boot belay held the weight of the six roped men. While Gilkey died in an avalanche later on, everyone else miraculously survived.
Bob was an invaluable member of an expedition because he was always positive and cheerful. He was a morale booster and never spoke a bad word about anyone. I got to know Bob well when we put together a joint Chinese-American expedition to climb Ulugh Muztagh, a mysterious peak in the Kun Lun range of northern Tibet. It took 10 years to get the permission, during which time Bob always turned our frustration into laughter. On the expedition, in 1985, Bob, with a vast knowledge of vaudeville, sang all the way into the mountain. The Chinese loved him. Then 74, Bob could only carry light loads, but his determination to contribute was an example that inspired success.
Bob was an English teacher at Phillips Exeter Academy, where he imparted knowledge and confidence into generations of students, many of whom said he had changed their lives by getting them involved in outdoor activities. Later, he served as director of the Peace Corps in Nepal, where he had the same effect on the volunteers working with him.
Bob married Gail Oberlin, a former staff member of the AAC, in 1954. She shared his sense of adventure and for years the two of them travelled together to remote mountain areas around the world, including the Andes, the Karakoram and the Himalaya.
During World War II, Bob was assigned by the U.S. Army to develop clothing and equipment for the mountain troops. He tested designs while making the third ascent of Mount McKinley, in 1942.
In 1994, he published his memoirs, The Love of Mountains is Best: Climbs and Travels from K2 to Kathmandu, and he co-wrote the books K2, The Savage Mountain and Five Miles High.I will never forget the celebratory banquet in the marble and glass Great Hall of the People in Urumchi, Xinjiang, with the highest Chinese officials in the province. There was spectacular Uighur dancing and singing when the music suddenly stopped and in the silence that followed we learned that it was the Americans' turn to entertain. Trapped, Bob Bates and I went up to the stage. In our desperation we decided to do The Wreck of the Old '97. Bob's vigorous singing, and especially his imitation of a train whistle, brought down the house and we were saved.

I had to share this story with you.
John Kirkwood was the father in law of Sarah Ann Reed, the niece of Susan Reed, wife of James Harman. While checking his rabbit traps, John found a large eagle caught in a trap. He took the bird to the Hamilton home of Robert Stapylton Bree on North Boundary road. Bree chained the raptor in the garden to keep other birds away but he got more than he bargained for with the bird's voracious appetite.
I wonder what happened to the eagle?
Dozens of articles about eagles and hawks caught in rabbit traps abound found at Trove. Some eagles still flew with the traps attached and one poor bird was reported with a trap attached for months.
On sad note, 10 years on, in 1902, John Kirkwood succumbed to influenza. His obituary appeared in The Horsham Times of October 28, 1902. John had died in the Hamilton Hospital on Wednesday October 22. On October 31, 1902, the obituary of John's daughter, 20-year-old Mary Agnes Kirkwood. She had passed away on October 26.
A search of Trove found that in 1902 there were reports of an influenza epidemic. The Horsham Times reported many cases in the Wimmera area. Such was the outbreak, it had an effect on The Horsham Times.

Police Chief Frank McCoy said Seau's girlfriend reported finding him unconscious with a gunshot wound to the chest and lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful. A gun was found near him, McCoy said.
Seau's mother appeared before reporters, weeping uncontrollably.
"I don't understand ... I'm shocked," Luisa Seau cried out.
Her son gave no indication of a problem when she spoke to him by phone earlier this week, she said.
"He's joking to me, he called me a `homegirl,"' she said.
Seau was a standout linebacker with the University of Southern California before going to the San Diego Chargers -- his hometown team -- whom he led to the Super Bowl following the 1994 season.
"Everyone at the Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now. We ask everyone to stop what they're doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family," the team said in a statement.
"It's a sad thing. It's hard to understand," said Bobby Beathard, who as Chargers general manager took Seau with the fifth pick overall in the 1990 draft. "He was really just a great guy. If you drew up a player you'd love to have the opportunity to draft and have on the team and as a teammate, Junior and Rodney (Harrison), they'd be the kind of guys you'd like to have.
"He was a leader emotionally and he played that way," Beathard said. "He was great to young kids. I just can't imagine this, because I've never seen Junior in a down frame of mind. He was always so upbeat and he would keep people up. He practiced the way he played. He made practice fun. He was a coach's dream. He was an amazing guy as well as a player and a person. This is hard to believe."
Seau's death follows the suicide last year of former Chicago Bears player Dave Duerson, who also shot himself in the chest.
Seau remained with the Chargers until 2003 and went on to play with the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots before retiring after the 2009 season.
"Junior was a fierce competitor whose passion and work ethic lifted his teammates to greater heights. His enthusiasm for the game was infectious and he passed that on to everyone who was around him. He loved the game so much, and no one played with more sheer joy," Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said in a statement.
"Junior was one-of-a-kind. The league will never see anyone like him again," Dee said.
The Patriots also issued a statement expressing grief over Seau's death. "This is a sad day for the entire Patriots organization, our coaches and his many Patriots teammates," the statement said.
In October 2010, Seau survived a 100-foot plunge down a seaside cliff in his SUV, hours after he was arrested for investigation of domestic violence at the Oceanside home he shared with his girlfriend. The woman had told authorities that Seau assaulted her during an argument.
There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol involved in the crash and Seau told authorities he fell asleep while driving. He sustained minor injuries.
Seau spent parts of 20 seasons in the NFL, including his 1990-2002 stint with his hometown Chargers. He helped them to their only Super Bowl appearance, was voted to a team-record 12 straight Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro six times.
He amassed 545 tackles, 56 1/2 sacks and 18 interceptions in his career.
"Twenty years, to be part of this kind of fraternity, to be able to go out and play the game that you love, and all the lessons and the friends and acquaintances which you meet along the way, you can't be in a better arena," Seau said last August after the Chargers announced he would be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame.
Seau was the fifth pick overall in the 1990 draft out of Southern California, and stayed with the Charges until being traded to the Dolphins. He came out of retirement a few times to play with the Patriots in search of a Super Bowl ring and was with the team when they lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl following the 2007 season, which ended New England's quest for a perfect season.
More than 100 people gathered outside of Seau's home, only hours after he was found dead. Families showed up with flowers and fans wearing Chargers jerseys waited to get more news.
Seau was beloved in San Diego, where he created a foundation and had a popular restaurant that bore his name.
Louie Lieras, 54, of Oceanside was driving through the area when he saw a number of cars parked outside Seau's house. Once Lieras heard the news about Seau's death, he went home and put on an old Chargers jersey with Seau's name on the back.
"I don't know how you could give this up. This was his backyard. He's never going to see it again," said Lieras, gesturing toward the Pacific Ocean just yards from Seau's front door. "I feel for the family and his children."

I think I got a different car
By zebulun on Saturday, July 20, 2019I never read movie reviews but I do read vehicle ones. I know I haven't many miles but quite a few here do have Outlander sports with many many miles. My concern is with the reviews. I traded a 2011 Kia Soul. Since it was the beginning of the model it was inexpensive, but a great car almost 90,000miles and still solid. I found a great deal on the Outlander as they gave me $1000 more than the KBB for my scratched and dented Kia. I had about 30 mile drive home on a 65 mph country road. After reading the "expert" reviews and driving this car I had no idea which car they had been driving. Everything about the car is quality, the appearance and function are superb. I am 72 have owned or driven everything from a 1953 Plymouth, MGA 1500, Vanden Plas V12 Jag, Subaru Forrester XT Turbo.....etc. I have owned 60+ motorbikes, have 5 at present most will do 0-60 in 3+ seconds so I am acquainted with vehicles and performance. This Outlander is nothing like the "professionals" tried to tell me. Very pleased.

Great Value Under Rated By KBB
By OLS 56 on Thursday, October 24, 2019Last month we got a 2019 Outlander sport ES. It is very comfortable and the fit and finish are excellent. So far it has been a very reliable vehicle. My opinions are MUCH different than KBB. I have no idea why they give this Mitsubishi a so-so rating. My outlander Sports ride is smooth, the seats are comfortable & we find it easy to drive with no blind spots thanks in part to the large side-view mirrors. The radio & climate control and 7-inch touchscreen with back -up camera are logically placed and the dash has a nice look and feel to it. The seats are also very comfortable. we bought the 5-speed manual because the CVT"S transmissions are known for the issues of funny shifting and noise. it is not just Mitsubishi that has this issue with CVT"s. Mitsubishi stands behind what they built for 5/60 -10/100,000, none of the others accept Kia/Hyundai and VW offer such a great warranty. and we paid THOUSANDS less than a similarly equipped Toyota, Kia, GM or VW. I highly recommend taking look at the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Lastly, we are happy the Outlander Sports design has not changed much since 2011. sure, that may make it kind of lackluster to some. but, you will be able to get parts easily if needed should you need body panels or mechanical parts Thanks in part to the amount of time the Outlander Sport has been around. The Outlander Sport is reasonably priced, has a great warranty, comfortable, reliable and looks great and has plenty of pep for our needs. with the 5-speed manual, we don't have transmission issues.it is very easy to shift & It cruises along on the freeway at 70-75 mph no problem and provides fuel economy so far at 31 MPG. Overall, we are very happy with our Outlander Sport. The price was reasonable and what you get for the money is a great quality vehicle.

great looking cuv!
By Preston on Sunday, July 23, 2017I have owned about a dozen cars over the years, including two of the original SUVs, a 1975 International Scout II and a 1980 Ford Bronco. I dont plan to go off road, but the 4WD is handy in Illinois winters, it handles well in wet/icy conditions. The exterior dimensions are well balanced. Not to long, width adequate and height is just right. The exterior styling is stunning from front to rear. I didnt need a larger vehicle, I dont do any major hauling, but with roof rails, it can easily handle larger items such as dining tables or bedroom sets. The Sport performs as good as any mid level sedan, the 2.4L has very good acceleration and torque, so highway merging is not a problem. Ride comfort is no different either, but smooth and quiet as can be expected at this price. Interior materials remain basic, dashboard layout is functional, although a bit bland looking. Where the Sport rocks is the Rockford Fosgate navigation system and 710 watt system with a 10 built in subwoofer, which sounds awesome at lower volumes, but never used to wake up the neighborhood. This trim level has all the expected options, power everything, heated leather, moon roof with mood lighting, etc. Before I purchased, I read many the reviews, They were less than complimentary. I can say as an owner for 18 mos that those reviews are unfounded. It is not expected to compare to upper end vehicles. It performs well on suburban and highway roads. How many of us plan to go off road or cruise European mountainous winding roads?

Today's News: Our Take - Victor Garber on Deception, His "Coming Out"
Everyone's a suspect on NBC's Deception, the freshman whodunit series about young detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good), who goes undercover to find out who killed her childhood best friend, Vivian Bowers. Leading the way in ethical dubiousness is Robert Bowers (Victor Garber), the family patriarch and Vivian's father. By the show's third episode, viewers know that Robert is not only championing a new drug that has exhibited deadly side effects in trial patients, but also recently ended an affair with his secretary, fired her, and then scared her into silence by dispatching an employee to break both of her brother's knees with a hammer. Robert hires Joanna as his personal assistant, thus providing her with an inside track to the family's professional and personal inner workings - but how much does he know about her true motives?
The show marks a return to the small screen for Garber, a veteran stage and screen actor whose long list of TV credits that includes regular and recurring roles on Alias, Justice, Damages and Eli Stone. So, what drew him to the role of Robert?
Deception Sneak Peek: Has Joanna compromised the case?
"I was sent the script of Deception ... and I found myself actually reading it," Garber tells TVGuide.com. "I usually after about five pages stop, but this script compelled me to go on and I thought it was really smart and intriguing. So I said, 'I would love to be considered for this part,' and I was, and here I am. But it's really the writing. That's what attracts me to anything."
Lately, however, it's been Garber's offscreen life that has garnered more attention, after he made a passing reference to being gay at the Television Critics Association conference.
"It was a surprise," Garber tells TVGuide.com of the media tongue-wagging that ensued. "To me, it's old news, and I don't really talk about my personal life because frankly, I'm not really interested in other people's personal lives. It's the world we live in and I understand it, but I don't participate in it. It's just sort of this insatiable appetite the public has to know things and I just find it, frankly, sad."
Pilot Season: Get the scoop on all the networks' new shows
Read our full interview with Garber to get his take on Robert's capacity for evil, his on-screen marriage, and the one thing he thinks could tear the Bowers family apart.
TVGuide.com: One of the fascinating things about the show is how morally ambiguous all the characters are. It seems like everyone is implicated at some point. Do you know who killed Vivian? And is it hard to shoot certain scenes, knowing you're privy to information that the audience might not be?
Garber: I didn't know until the last script, which is what we're shooting now. Frankly, it doesn't really affect anything other than the moment that you're in, where you either find out or you don't. It's like anything. You do one scene at a time and you play that as truthfully as you can in the moment, and then you find out, 'Oh, well, I guess something has changed,' and so you adjust to the next scene. So it's been a really fun experience because the characters are kind of all deceptive and multileveled and layered, and that's what makes it fun to act in and also fun to watch.
TVGuide.com: What's your take on Robert? What are you trying to convey about him in these early episodes?
Garber: Robert is the patriarch of a very wealthy family. He runs a pharmaceutical company. And I think his intentions are honorable in that he's always trying to protect his family, and sometimes his means are questionable. Like so many rich people ... or so many people, period, and politicians we've witnessed over many countless years ... they believe they're justified in their behavior because it's for the greater good. And then it's a question of, do we think that's true or do we think you're just a selfish idiot?
TVGuide.com: So... in Robert's case, is he just a selfish idiot?
Garber: No, of course not! No, no. See, that's what intrigues me about this character, is that he's dimensional and he's not perfect, and he's doing the best he can. And like all people, he makes mistakes. That, to me, is the quintessence of drama. That's really why it's a great story and that's what I think this show is.
TVGuide.com: How smart is Robert, in terms of Joanna? His family is telling him to be careful around her and yet, he's the only one who seems to be fully in her court for the first few episodes? Is he really just naïve about her intentions, or is he starting to get suspicious about her motives?
Garber: Well, you'll find out, won't you? [Laughs]. No, here's what I can tell you. I think that Robert is grieving his daughter, and Joanna represents someone that he feels can unify the family, and that's his intention. He also says early on that he believes there's a reason she came. So he has some sort of high-falutin' notion that this was 'meant to be' - a phrase I hate, by the way. But also, as the series progresses, he will encounter things or witness things that possibly aren't as he thinks they are, just like everybody else on the show. Nothing is as it seems.
TVGuide.com: Well, Robert is clearly no saint. In the third episode, he's already sent an employee to disable someone with a hammer. How much evil is he capable of?
Garber: It's really, how much evil is anybody capable of? If he's capable of that, he's capable of more. Again, it's all in his mind justified. So he's capable of doing bad things and good things, and he will do both. I'm not going to give away anything! I'm tap-dancing here, as you can tell. But that's the fun of the show. The audience finds out as you go along what's really going on, and sometimes that's not even real. So that's the strength of the show, I think.
TVGuide.com: In the first three episodes, every time you think you know a character, something happens to change your perception.
Garber: Just like in life, it's complicated. There's just more going on, which is what I think makes the show unique.
TVGuide.com: Obviously Robert knows what his family is capable of, yet like you said, his main motivation for his actions is love and devotion and loyalty to them. If one of them did kill Vivian, will that change? What kind of rift could that create?
Garber: Well, I would think so. [Laughs]. I think that would be a deal-breaker, as they say. We don't know - but we will know by the end of the first season - who killed Vivian, and then the next season will be about how everyone deals with that, and how Joanna can prove that that is, in fact, the person who did it.
TVGuide.com: What's the atmosphere like on set?
Garber: I have to say, and I know you hear this from everybody, it's really a very happy set. We lucked out with Meagan Good. When I read the script, I thought, well, that's the show. If they cast the right person, the show has a chance. And I think they did. She's remarkably gifted and such a pleasure to work with. So that sort of sets the tone. And then Tate Donovan, a nightmare. [Laughs]. He's my good friend and I like to torture him. Wes Brown, who I didn't know [before], lovely, and Ella Rae Peck, who plays Mia, is just I think a phenomenally talented young actress who is going to do great things. Katherine LaNasa [who plays Garber's on-screen wife, Sofia] is great. We are perfectly matched. I like to call them the Macbeths. So we're in very good shape. And Laz [Alonso] is a dream. He's just a dreamboat. He's so talented and so nice to work with and so good. So really, we're lucky, because you spend that much time with people and if it's not working it can be really torturous. And this has been wonderful.
TVGuide.com: Your reference to Macbeth is interesting. How do you see the marriage between Robert and Sofia? Is there any love left there, or are they really just staying together to keep up appearances?
Garber: I think like all marriages, there are days when you want out and then there are days when you don't know how you'd live without them.
Deception airs Mondays at 10/9c on NBC.

Frances McClendon was born in North Carolina about 1790.[1] She died about 1855 in Melissa, Collin County, Texas. She was married, probably in Tennessee about 1803, to Alsey Pulliam.[2]
Frances was probably the daughter of Bryan McClendon, who was in Lawrence Co TN in 1820.
In order to determine the most likely candidates for her parents, it was necessary to see who was in North Carolina ca 1790 and then in Tennessee by 1803.
Using Genforum and Ancestry.com, it was easy to discover that there were several individuals named McClendon or McLendon in North Carolina, that the name Dennis occurs frequently with both spellings, and that several families throughout the 18th century had sons or daughters named Frances.
Three early McClendons in Tennessee were Simon who was in Davidson Co by 1799, Jesse who performed a marriage in Sumner Co in 1805, and Bryan (or Bryant) who was in Lawrence Co by 1820.
Jesse is easily eliminated, since a list of his children exists from the time of his will, thanks to Mary Becker at Genforum.[3]
Simon was the earliest man I looked at. He had a first wife, — Samville in NC, married a second wife, Ann Snell, by whom he had no children, then moved with at least two children to Davidson Co TN before 1799. His son Dennis left a numerous descendancy in the area, and daughter Mary had six children with her husband John Keetley Sluder.[4] Simon died in Apr 1809 in Davidson Co TN.
Material from the Lawrence Co TN Genweb site indicates there was a Nathan McClendon among the early, say 1815, settlers of the county. He was likely a son of Bryan and brother of Frances. Nathan and Bryan were on the 1818 voters list in Lawrence Co and Bryan was on the 1820 census, listed as "Bryant McClendon."
Bryant McClendon was a neighbor, about half a dozen residences away from John A Hail[5] in 1820 Lawrence Co TN. Bryant's census entry reads: 320101/10100.[6] The census here looks like a widower, with two daughters and six sons, or employees. Bryan McClendon was in Crawford Co MO in 1830, page 175 (00111001/0002), as were granddaughter Leatha and her husband, James Alvis, page 180.
In 1840 Bryan McClendon was in Nodaway Twp, Buchanan Co MO, p 14: 000000001/00100001, next door to Jesse McClendon: 10001/0001. I have looked for many years for the 1840 census in Missouri of James Woodford Alvis, whose wife was Leatha (Pulliam) Alvis, a daughter of Frances (McClendon) Pulliam. The family should be easy to find, one son 5-10, one daughter 0-5, one 5-10, one 10-15, and parents 30-40. By hunting through Buchanan County 1840 images, I found "James W Wood" with exactly this family, a page away from the man I now consider to be Leatha's grandfather. Bryan was living in 1850 in Nodaway Twp, Andrew Co MO, 75 NC, with Elizabeth, 65.
Frances's husband, Alsey Pulliam, was last seen in any document in 1840 in Platte County. It is reasonable that her father, Bryan McClendon, was last seen alive, then probably died, and was buried in this same area north of present Kansas City. If we only knew, possibly James W Alvis is buried around there somewhere too.

Pulliam is a native of Tennessee, but is now a substantial farmer in Collins [sic] County, Texas He was born August the 9th, A.D. 1818, was reared a farmer, and in 1845 came to Texas, which State has since been his home. His father was a native of North Carolina, who moved to Tennessee where Marshall S was born; from thence he moved to Missouri in 1829, where he died. His wife was Frances McClendon, who was also a native of North Carolina, and the mother of eight children, Marshall S being next to the youngest child. At the time Mr. M S Pulliam came to Texas the country was new and land cheap. He acquired a good home and, by industry and economy has secured for himself and family a nice competency for his old age, Mr. Pulliam volunteered in 1846 in the Mexican War, and served eighteen months, and is now drawing a pension for said service…"

[6] I've never seen a good reason for Leatha/Luvina Pulliam to be in Lawrence Co TN in 1827 to meet and marry James W Alvis? But she could have been left to care for a grandfather when Alsey and Frances Pulliam moved from TN to Illinois.

This week's boot camp is about green cleaners. Lots of urban homesteaders are into doing things with less chemicals, more frugally, and more self-reliance. Using or making some green cleaners around the house is a great skill to add to the homesteading arsenal.
The thing is, I don't really use any cleaners in the house. I use good old baking soda and white vinegar, and lemon juice. And I think these have been talked about an awful lot on the internet already. So while I can wax on about how effective these normal household items are to clean with, I am not sure I have much new information to offer as far as ingredients go. Here it is, none the less.
I can tell you that these things really do work in Colorado where the water is hard and full of minerals that build up on everything. Like my shower head, all covered in calcium build-up (or is that lime scale? or… ??):
To get that puppy clean, first I tried just straight up vinegar with a grout brush. Which did a pretty good job.
But I kind of needed something that would stick a bit better so that the vinegar could sit and work at it for me. I'm all for scrubbing if it means I don't have to use CLR, but if I can not scrub, that's even better. So I mixed some vinegar with some corn starch. And poured the gloopy paste all over the shower head. And then, while I let that sit, I used some on the tub faucet that is always sticking and tough to pull the shower lever thingy on (wow – the technical terms in this post are astounding). Then, after I got impatient, I rinsed the shower head off… pretty good, eh?
It's not perfect or anything, and probably if I had been a little more patient, it would have been, but I think it was decent. What's even better is the mix worked on the tub faucet puller thing.
On to the rest of the bathroom! Here is what I use:
Like the package says, there are hundreds of uses for baking soda. That's why I have a huge bag of it. In the bathroom, I use it like most people use Comet. I use it to scrub down the sink and tiles and tub. And it works.
So what about the throne? Well, lots of homesteaders are either into saving water or have male persons in the house. Or both. And so the toilet often gets stained from letting the yellow mellow. And in our house, that hard water alone can leave a ring. The best cleaning tool I have for cleaning a stained toilet is a pumice stone.
The first time I used it, I was scared to death. I thought for sure I was going to scratch the porcelain and end up with a horrid looking toilet that I was going to end up replacing. But that was needless worry. It worked great. And as far as I can tell, it didn't scratch a thing. First I don my rubber gloves and do a scrub with the toilet brush and a flush so the water in there is clean. I don't put any cleaners in there. Then I grab the pumice stone.
I scrub around the water line, in the hole and under the rim. It gets everything off. You can see that the corners of my stone are getting rounded off. The stone crumbles instead of scratching the bowl. It works. The toilet is sparkling. After that, I will throw a splash of vinegar in the toilet and use the toilet brush again, for good measure. Clean as a… well, not a whistle, but you get the idea.
I also use vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle to clean the mirror with a lint-free cloth. And to clean the floor. And to spray down the shower walls.
How do you clean your bathroom?

No one can call themselves an experienced mountaineer unless they have turned back unsuccessfully from some of their summit attempts. Climbing is a game of knowing when to press on and when to bail, and these choices can mean the difference between great success and needless death. It is a misnomer, of course, to call any trip into the mountains "unsuccessful" —these attempts are often richer experiences with far more opportunities for learning and growth.
The following table shows all of Jasper Pair's unsuccessful attempts. If the peak was climbed later, then the successful ascent date is noted, and how much time elapsed since the attempt. The "Attempt" column will be 2, 3, or other higher numbers for peaks that have been unsuccessfully attempted more than once. Unsuccessful attempts of peaks that have already been climbed are also shown.
= Peaks successfully climbed after unsuccessful attempt = Unclimbed peaks (Note: Unsuccessful attempts on previously climbed peaks are not shown)

After updating my NIM master to AIX 7.1 TL2 SP1 (7100-02-01-1245), I noticed a problem. Whenever I installed a new AIX partition using NIM, the resources allocated to the NIM client were not being de-allocated, even though the installation was completing successfully. Also, if I tried to run my usual NIM client reset script (below), the resources were still allocated.
# Reset a NIM client.
if [[ "$1" = "" ]] ; then
echo Please specify a NIM client to reset e.g. aixlpar1.
if lsnim -l $1 > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
nim -o reset -F $1
nim -Fo de-allocate -a subclass=all $1
nim -Fo change -a cpuid= $1
echo Not a valid NIM client!?
For example, heres my NIM client with the lpp_source, mksysb and SPOT resources assigned to it (even though the AIX install completed OK).
root@nim1 : / # lsnim -l aixlpar1
class = machines
type = standalone
connect = shell
platform = chrp
netboot_kernel = 64
if1 = network1 aixlpar1 0
cable_type1 = N/A
Cstate = ready for a NIM operation
prev_state = not running
Mstate = currently running
boot = boot
lpp_source = lpp_sourceaix710105
mksysb = aixlpar1-71
nim_script = nim_script
spot = spotaix710105
cpuid = 00C453C75C00
control = master
Cstate_result = success
installed_image = aixlpar1-71
My workaround was to use 'smit nim_mac_res' to manually de-allocate resources from the client:
De-allocate Network Install Resources
aixlpar1 machines standalone
>lpp_sourceaix710105 lpp_source
>spotaix710105 spot
>aixlpar1-71 mksysb
It appears that others were also experiencing this problem. I found the following thread on the IBM developerWorks AIX user forum:
NIM de-allocate with subclass=all doesn't work:
Someone even provided their own version of a NIM client reset script that offered another workaround to the problem:
nim -Fo reset $1
for i in bosinst_data fb_script image_data installp_bundle lpp_source mksysb nim_script script spot ; do
ressources_to_clean=$(lsnim -l $1 | grep $i | awk '{print $NF}')
for j in ${ressources_to_clean} ; do
nim -Fo de-allocate -a $i=$j $1
I reported the issue to IBM AIX support and discovered that this is a known issue with 7.1 TL2.
This is a known issue which recently has been documented in 2 open
APARs: IV32570 and IV32670: UPDATE NIM BINARIES FOR UPDATES.
Error description
One known symptom (of this issue) is that "nim -Fo
de-allocate -a subclass=all <client>" returns successfully but the
resource will still be allocated.
The problem occured because the "update" pack that brings you from
7.1.1.x to 220.127.116.11 missed a piece that effected the bos.sysmgt.184.108.40.206
Currently there is no fix available and no projected timeframe when this
issue will be fixed (i assume it will be with the next SP for AIX
However, a workaround is allready documented in our incidents
database - you simply need to force reinstall the bos.sysmgt.nim.master
22.214.171.124 fileset using your AIX 7.1 TL02 media.
This is not a backleveling of the fileset, you are simply force
overwriting the full base level at the same version that you are
currently at. It will still be at 7100-02.
The workaround is a force overwrite of the bos.sysmgt.nim.master 220.127.116.11
from media."
The AIX support team suggested that I download the necessary install fileset from the following location:
I backed up my NIM database before re-installing the fileset, just in case.
Starting NIM Database Backup on nim1 at Wed Dec 12 12:39:43 EETDT 2012

Finished NIM Database Backup on nim1 at Wed Dec 12 12:39:44 EETDT 2012
I placed the fileset into a separate directory on the NIM master and ran inutoc.

Then I re-installed the fileset (force OVERWRITE) on the NIM master:

Once the install completed I found that all allocated NIM resources (lpp_source, mksysb and SPOT) were de-allocated. Problem solved.

So if you are planning on updating your NIM master to 7.1 TL2, please take note and make sure you implement the workaround.
